You are sooright about not letting newbies drive your rcs. So me and my firend are out and he was anoying me so bad about driving my car so I was so fed up that I let him. There was a 1/2 foot jump at the end of the curb and after a couple of passes I let him jump it but only at LOW SPEEDS. So he backs up and he just let the thing go at wot for the whole way missed the ramp just about hit me and went wot into a brick step. At impactthe right front went 4 ft in the air but my revo was still running. The damage report was 1 shattered wheel hex, destroyed wheel, and a bent tie rod. And the best part was he didn't even offer to pay for the parts.My story also starts with a "i made the mistake of letting my friend drive it" that is the worst thing to do. To date i have not let anyone drive it except my brother who owns 2 just like me. Anyways it was a rustler my friend started off good then decided to WOT even though i gave him specific instructions not to well he turned right into a curb luckily it was also a tad bit rounded. It flew 4 foot straight up making the loudest noise ever cuz the muffler parted ways with the coupler. To my surprise that was the only thing that happened along with a destroyed front guard. Now here is where it got funny and ultimately sad. I started her up and gave a few laps on the road then started being aggresive on WOT the throttle servo broke in half ( was broken from the curb impact but I didnt notice) so it WOT and I have steering still I'm trying my best to keep her under control it hits the curb at an angle and does a sideways flip in the air and landed back on the wheels (that actually looked awesome) it wheelies and then i turn, it rolls again lands on the wheel then i try one last turn to save it from a fence. The fence was a chainlink and was old and leaned over with warped supports the rustler hit it at an angle and caught the most air i have ever caught with a rc it actually rolled all the way up it and gained another 8-10 foot of air landed on cement and broke everything on the left side....looking back now that was the funniest 40 seconds ever with a RC but I was so pissed at my friend at that time and to make it worse he was laughing big time...so I got revenge a few weeks later and slept with his wife when we were drunk...don't mess with a man's rc, break it, and then laugh....
